Article Abstract

Despite relevance to water purification and renewable energy conversion membranes, the molecular mechanisms underlying water slip are poorly understood. We disentangle the static and dynamical origin of water slippage on graphene, hBN and MoS2 by means of large-scale ab initio molecular dynamics. Accounting for the role of the electronic structure of the interface is essential to determine that water slips five and eleven times faster on graphene compared to hBN and to MoS2, respectively. Intricate changes in the water energy landscape as well as in the density correlations of the fluid provide, respectively, the main static and dynamical origin of water slippage. Surprisingly, the timescales of the density correlations are the same on graphene and hBN, whereas they are longer on MoS2 and yield a 100% slowdown in the flow of water on this material. Our results pave the way for an in silico first principles design of materials with enhanced water slip, through the modification of properties connected not only to the structure, but also to the dynamics of the interface.

Proteomics Uncovers Enrichment Bias of Common Extracellular Vesicle Isolation Methods in HEK293T Cells.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous structures consisting of lipid bilayers that are released by most cell types and serve as important mediators of intercellular communication. The HEK293T cell line model has gained considerable attention from the scientific community, particularly in the fields of engineering and drug delivery. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of systematic comparisons of the most prevalent EV isolation methodologies for HEK293T in terms of recovery and specificity.

Background: Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a significant contributor to cardiac mortality in Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients. Inflammatory processes and oxidative stress play pivotal roles in the advancement of Pulmonary Hypertension (PH). The Monocyte-to-High-- Density-Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio (MHR), a newly identified biomarker indicative of inflammatory and oxidative stress, has not been extensively researched in the context of pulmonary hypertension, especially within the scope of dilated cardiomyopathy.

Anchoring Ligand Electron Enables Robust Metal-Oxygen Coordination Toward 4.5 V O3-Type Sodium-Ion Battery Cathodes.

High-voltage operation enables sodium-sufficient O3-type layered oxides to approach the maximum achievable energy densities for practical sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). This high-voltage regime, however, induces structural degradation strongly correlated with oxygen redox activity, a mechanism still incompletely resolved. Using prototypical O3-type NaNiFeMnO (NFM) as a model system, we identify the origin of this instability as a detrimental feedback loop between σ-type oxygen redox and cation migration.

Lung cancer, as one of the cancers with the highest morbidity and mortality rates in the world, requires accurate detection of its vital serum marker, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), which is a key challenge for early detection of lung cancer. However, traditional chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) methods rely on labeled antibodies (Abs) and suffer from complex operations and high costs. In this work, a label-free CLIA based on CL-functionalized mesoporous magnetic nanoparticles (CuFeO@mSiO-Cys-Luminol-Au NPs) is developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of NSE.

Models of memory consolidation propose that newly acquired memory traces undergo reorganisation during sleep. To test this idea, we recorded high-density electroencephalography (EEG) during an evening session of word-image learning followed by immediate (pre-sleep) and delayed (post-sleep) recall. Polysomnography was employed throughout the intervening night, capturing time spent in different sleep stages.
